Fantastiska målningar. Måste ses.

Eine schöne Kirche mitten im Herzen von Fiskebäckskil. Die Kirche überragt alles und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Man kann sich das sehr aufwendig gestaltete Kirchenschiff mit Bemalungen vergleichbar eines Schiffsrumpfes anschauen. Es liegt ein sehr altes Buch zum Anschauen aus. Auf dem Friedhof sind etliche Seemänner des Ortes mit ihren Familien in großen Gruften begraben. Sehr zu empfehlen.

What an incredibly beautiful church! Wooden panelled interior with gorgeous, nautical paintings on every surface. The church sits on a hill overlooking the marina.

Sigmaringen Castle

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in the year 1077 in the chronicles of Petershausen monastery. The oldest parts of the castle are concealed beneath the alterations made during the 17th and the 19th centuries. The secret of the earliest settlement built on this defendable rock will never be fully revealed: large-scale excavation work would be necessary, which the extensive land development renders impossible. Judging from the many Roman remains unearthed in the area around Sigmaringen, the 12th century keep known as the 'Roman Tower' could be traced back to a Roman predecessor.

The castle remains that have been preserved (gate, great hall and keep) date back to the Staufer period around 1200. The castle remains were integrated into subsequent buildings. The foundations of the castle buildings are to a large extent identical to the surrounding castle wall.

These remains give us a good idea of how the castle might have looked during the 12th century.
